I wear a partial. Dr Dickey is coming in on his day off to deliver my new partial! That's personal care. Love how safe and free from pain I feel at Total Dental Care. I know I am not going to be hurt. I had fun with Dr Dickey during my crown preparation. We listened to music. Doc sang and danced to 80s alternative music to make me feel more comfortable! (I'm not afraid to go to the dentist anymore!) I almost look forward to visiting the dentist because of Dr Dickey and his fabulous, fun staff!!

Two visits. They fixed a crown issue I had that my long time DDS could not. Switch to them and then had a teeth cleaning. Great staff. Great experience.

I came to Total Dental Care seeking care with me in mind and found it in spades, from Dr. Dickey to the incredible staff, this is the only place to go if you want dental care from a group that’ll make you feel like one of them. I’m forever grateful for the work they all do.
